Introduction
The HP Backup and Recovery Manager is an easy-to-use, versatile
application that allows you to back up and recover the primary hard drive
on the PC. The application works within Windows to create backups of
Windows, all applications, and all data files. Backups can be scheduled to
occur automatically at designated intervals, or they can be initiated
manually. Important files can be archived separately from regular
backups. Recovery Points and File Backups can be copied to CD or DVD
discs, if the appropriate hardware is installed, while all backups can be
copied to network or secondary hard disks. All of these features make the
HP Backup and Recovery Manager a necessary tool to ensure the security
of your data.
Installation
The HP Backup and Recovery Manager is available in two forms:
1. Shipped preinstalled on the computer
2. Shipped with HP add-on hardware
How to Install
When preinstalled on the computer, HP Backup and Recovery Manager is
automatically part of the Recovery Partition and when created, the
Recovery Disc Set. This application is already resident on the computer
and will be automatically deployed again when the system is recovered.
When included as part of an HP hardware purchase, the HP Backup and
Recovery Manager is easily installed by running the setup.exe application
from the CD.

HP Backup and Recovery Manager
The HP Backup and Recovery Manager is a highly versatile application for
ensuring the continued security of the system hard drive. Backups can be
scheduled to occur automatically at designated intervals, or they can be
initiated manually.
•Recovery Points are created to back up the entire system
incrementally
•Entire Drive Backups are created to back up the entire system in
a single archive.
•File Backups are created to back up individual files.
Recovery Points and File Backups can be saved to CD or DVD, if the
appropriate hardware is installed, while all backups can be copied to
network or secondary hard disks.
Reminders
Upon installation, the HP Backup and Recovery Manager will remind the
user to create the Recovery Disc Set immediately to ensure that there is a
backup in a place other than the primary hard drive. This reminder can be
delayed for a week at a time. On the fourth display, an additional option
appears. Selecting this option disables the reminder permanently.
Note: HP highly recommends creating the Recovery Disc Set immediately.

disk space. To access the Recovery Point Manager and manage Recovery
Points:

8. It is possible to delete all Recovery Points back to a specific time or
move all Recovery Points to CD or DVD disc with appropriate
hardware. Select an option and follow the wizard to finish.
Note: As Recovery Points are incremental, deleting one Recovery
Point also deletes all subsequent Recovery Points. Each Recovery
Point location is independent of the others, as well. For example,
Recovery Points created on the network are incremental, but
independent of Recovery Points stored on an external hard drive. If a
Recovery Point is deleted from the network location, this affects only
the Recovery Points in that network location and not other locations.
Saving Backups to Network or CD/DVD
Recovery Points, Entire Drive Backups and File Backups may be saved to a
Network Drive, while Recovery Points and File Backups may be burned to
CD/DVD, depending on hardware available. These discs can be used with
the Recovery Disc Set created by Recovery Media Creator to recover the
system fully, up to the moment the last archive was created.
File Backups may be saved to network, secondary hard drive or CD/DVD
during the backup creation process, while Entire Drive Backups may be
saved to Network or secondary hard drive.
